The perimeter of RSTU can be calculated alone without the help of MNPQ. It would be just 2(4) + 2(3) = 14 units. However, it would be much sensible if you want to find the parameter of the bigger rectangle. Since they are similar, you could use ratio and proportion.
(length/width)∨MNPQ = (length/width)∨RSTU
(x/9) = (3/4)
x = 6.75 units
Thus the perimeter of MNPQ is 2(6.75) + 2(9) = 31.5 units
Answer:
-0.75 linear
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Center City West = x
</span><span>Center City East = (x + 257)
Solve for x to find the capacity for Center City West and then we can find the capacity for Center City East.
(x + 257) + x = 1221
x + x + 257 = 1221
2x + 257 - 257 = 1221 - 257
2x = 964
2x / 2 = 964 / 2
x = 482
</span><span>Center City West capacity = 482
</span>
Now to find Center City East capacity we substitute 482 for x in (x + 257)
(x + 257)
(482 + 257)
482 + 257 = 739
Center City East capacity = 739
Center City West capacity = 482
B = boys g = girls
.................................
b + g = 195 b = 195 - g
<u>b</u> = <u>8</u>
g 7
Substitute b for 195 - g in the 2nd equation:
<u>b</u> = <u>8</u>
g 7
<u>195 - g</u> = <u>8</u>
g 7
Cross Multiply
8g = 7 . ( 195 - g )
8g = 1365 - 7g
8g + 7g = 1365
15g = 1365
g = <u>1365</u>
15
g = 91
Substitute g for 91 in one of the equations:
b + g = 195
b + 91 = 195
b = 195 - 91
b = 104
S = 104 boys.
